"An all day yac threat with the size, hands and quickness to be a #1 option despite lacking the speed to run past guys."
Strengths:
Intimidating size and good initial quickness. Powers off the los and threatens deep. Good foot quickness and is an all day yac threat. Reliable hands catcher who wants the ball every down. Good route runner. Great production and stood out on a talented WR core. Feasted in the slot as a junior but can line up outside as well. Engaging and confident team leader candidate.
Weaknesses:
Lacks top end speed despite good initial quickness. Doesn't win in traffic as often as it looks like he should. Drops the easy ones.
Overall:
Brown is a determined #1 WR talent that consistently gets open with his short area quickness and strength. He's long armed with natural hands and expects to make the big play. He's quick and burly after the catch and regularly piles up yac.
Although he won't consistently run away or get behind pro corners, his quickness, deception and size should make him a productive pro WR capable of being a #1 option.
